My mother in law has been having big problems with neighbours and a meeting has been called by the council for her to attend tomorrow a.m. beings as the family concerned and big friends with the councillor representing council issues tomorrow i need to know whether i could go with mother in law to give her support as she feels quite intimidated. She is a pensioner and wonder whether the council could turn around and tell me i am not allowed in the room. Any response will be gratefully accepted. THANK YOU

Without question you should be allowed to attend - as your relative's spokesperson or note-taker. Besides, any stress could be bad for her health so you need to be on hand. If they try to tell you that you are not allowed, then it may be prudent to say that you are merely there as support for your mother-in-law and will not add comments to the proceedings. On that basis they cannot, as far as I can see, refuse. Sue

I'm sure you would be allowed to attend as support for your mother-in-law. However, it's possible that you might not be permitted to be involved in any discussion/conversation. Please give her our best wishes and hope all goes well for her.
